A coil-like or zigzag-like linear fastener element row ( 3 ) of synthetic resin is mounted on a side edge of a fastener tape ( 4 ), and then a rod-like body ( 6 ) is inserted into a coupling space portion ( 13 ) in a rear side of coupling heads ( 10 ) of plural fastener elements at a terminal end of the fastener element row ( 3 ) and attached thereto. Alternatively, a curved sheet-like body ( 7 ) is attached such that the sheet-like body surrounds and covers surfaces of the coupling heads ( 10 ), leg portions ( 11 ) and connecting portions ( 12 ) and thereafter, the rod-like body or the sheet-like body is fused with fastener elements ( 3 ) by ultrasonic welding so as to form an end stop ( 14 ) as the top end stop ( 15 ) or the bottom stop end ( 16 ) having an excellent appearance.

TECHICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to end stops, i.e., a top end stop or abottom end stop for a slide fastener and a hidden slide fastener inwhich coil-type or zigzag-type linear fastener elements of syntheticresin are mounted on a side edge of a fastener tape and relates to aslide fastener having the same end stops.

BACKGROUND ART

Conventionally, various types of end stops have been proposed about atop end stop and a bottom end stop of a coil-type or zigzag-type linearslide fastener and hidden slide fastener made of synthetic resin.According to a stop end 22 disclosed in Japanese Utility ModelApplication Publication No. 56-51773, a synthetic resin piece 21 havinga circular section is formed on a tape-side rear face of heads 10 ofplural elements at a terminal end of a linear fastener element row 3such that it is capable of being fused, as shown in FIG. 26, and an endportion of the synthetic resin piece 21 located at the terminal end ofthe element row 3 is bent to a surface so as to produce a bent portion21 a. The end face of the bent portion 21 a is formed lower than asurface of the elements and then, the bent portion 21 a is fused with acoupling face formed in a dented state in a side face of a head 10 of anelement at a terminal end of the element row.

In addition, according to a stop end 23 disclosed in Japanese UtilityModel Application Publication No. 59-25221, as shown in FIG. 27, a filmpiece 25 made of synthetic resin is placed on and fused with a top sideof plural elements of an liner fastener element row 3 made of syntheticresin, and a film piece 25 above a sewing yarn 24 which sews legportions 11 of the elements is formed thicker than an other portion soas to provide a convex row 25 a and then, the sewing yarn 24 isprotected by this convex row 25 a while the other portion of the filmpiece 25 except for the convex row 25 a adheres up to a rear face of theelements so as to embrace it.

Further, according to a stop end 26 disclosed in Japanese Utility ModelApplication Publication No. 51-4823, as shown in FIG. 28, a metallic pin28 with a head is inserted into a gap portion 27 existing at a rear sideof plural element heads 10 in conditions in which coil type or zigzagtype linear fastener element rows 3 made of synthetic resin are coupledwith each other, thereby fixing right and left elements.

In case of the bottom end stop 22 shown in FIG. 26, the synthetic resinpiece 21 is fused with a bottom face of the heads 10 of the linearfastener element row 3 with ultrasonic welding under a pressure and anend of the synthetic resin piece is bent to a surface side of theelements and fused with the side face of the head 10 of the element. Forthe reason, the welding processing of the synthetic resin 21 isextremely troublesome, so that the end stop cannot be produced at acheap price. Because the synthetic resin piece 21 is fused with thesurface of the element, it may peel off during usage.

In case of the end stop shown in FIG. 27, ultrasonic processing iscarried out so as to reform the surface of a top end stop 36 into aconvex shape by placing the synthetic resin film piece 25 on the topsurface of plural linear fastener elements. In this case, there is afear that burrs may occur at an end portion of the film piece 25, sothat there is a problem in the safety. In case of the bottom end stop 26shown in FIG. 28, the metallic pin with the head is just inserted intothe linear fastener element rows 3 made of synthetic resin. Therefore,its fixing is instable, and if an unreasonable force is applied duringuse, the pin 28 may slip out.

The present invention has been achieved considering the above-describedproblems and a first object of the invention is to provide an end stopfor a slide fastener having a rigid structure and an excellent qualityand which can be manufactured at a cheap price, and another object ofthe invention is to provide an end stop for a slide fastener which canbe manufactured easily and exert an effective stop function. Stillanother object of the invention is to provide a slide fastener havingthe aforementioned end stop comprised of an ordinary type or hidden typefastener chain which undergoes special patterning or processing at itsfastener tape.

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION

To achieve the aforementioned objects, a first basic configuration ofthe present invention is an end stop for a slide fastener which isformed by fusing a synthetic resin piece attached over plural fastenerelements located at a terminal end side of a synthetic resin made linearfastener element row mounted on a side edge of an ordinary type orhidden type slide fastener tape.

In the end stop of the invention, the synthetic resin made linearfastener element row is mounted on the side edge of the fastener tapeand then a synthetic resin piece is attached over plural fastenerelements located at a terminal end of the fastener element row and fusedso as to form the end stop for a slider. With such a configuration,because the synthetic resin piece is fused after it is attached to thelinear fastener elements, the synthetic resin piece can be held at apredetermined position accurately with respect to the linear fastenerelements and further fused together effectively.

Further, as the synthetic resin piece, a rod-like body or a curvedsheet-like body may be used. By using such a rod-like body or a curvedsheet-like body, the synthetic resin piece can be attached easily andaccurately, and moreover, the synthetic resin piece can be producedeasily.

Because the rod-like body is inserted into a coupling space portionlocated in a rear side of coupling heads in the linear fastener elementsand fused therein, generation of burrs on the surface of the linearfastener elements is suppressed, in addition to the above-describedeffects, so that an excellent quality end stop can be formed.

Furthermore, the rod-like body is crushed and fused together with thecoupling heads of the linear fastener elements from the front and rearsurfaces. According to such fusing, the end stop, which stops the slidersecurely at a terminal end of the linear fastener element row andprevents the slider from slipping out, can be formed.

The sheet-like body is fused together to cover the coupling heads, legportions and connecting portions of the linear fastener elements.According to such measure, generation of burrs on the surface of thelinear fastener elements can be prevented and an excellent quality endstop can be formed.

According to the present invention, the rod-like body is disposed insidethe linear fastener element row, the linear fastener element row beingin a non-engaged state, and fused so as to form a top end stop. In thiscase, the rod-like body can be inserted into the inside of the linearfastener element row easily in a fastener stringer in which its fastenerelements are not coupled, so as to form the top end stop easily.

Likewise, in the case of the sheet-like body, the sheet-like body isdisposed on the surface of the linear fastener element row, the linearfastener element row being in a non-coupled state, and fused together soas to form a top end stop. In this case, the sheet-like body can beeasily applied to a fastener stringer in which its fastener elements arenot coupled, so as to form a top end stop easily.

Further, the rod-like body is disposed inside each of the linearfastener element rows in acoupled state and fused together so as to forma bottom stop end. Consequently, the rod-like body can be applied to afastener chain easily, in which its fastener elements are coupled, so asto form a bottom end stop easily.

The bottom end stop can be formed by using the sheet-like body also.That is, the sheet-like body is disposed on the surface of each of thelinear fastener element rows in a coupled state and fused together so asto form a bottom end stop. Consequently, the sheet-like body can beeasily applied to a fastener chain, in which fastener elements arecoupled, so as to form a bottom end stop easily.

A second basic configuration of the present invention is a sliderfastener having the above-described end stop and which is characterizedin that the fastener tape in a fastener chain undergoes specialtreatment, that is, patterning by ink jet and/or waterproof processing.Such a configuration can prevent the fastener tape from being damaged bymounting the end stop to the fastener tape, thereby finishing a slidefastener having an excellent appearance.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

Hereinafter, an end stop for a slide fastener of the present inventionwill be described specifically with reference to the accompanyingdrawings.

As for the slide fastener of the present invention, a mono-filament ofsynthetic resin such as polyamide or polyester is wound into a coil-likeshape or bent into a zigzag form so as to produce a linear fastenerelement row 3. This linear fastener element row 3 is sewed on a sideedge of a fastener tape with a sewing yarn 8 or mounted by weaving orknitting in the fastener tape, so as to finish an ordinary type slidefastener or a hidden type slide fastener. The coil-like or zigzag-likelinear fastener elements 3 are respectively comprised of a coupling head10, upper and lower leg portions 11, a connecting portion 12 and acoupling space portion 13. A core thread 9 is placed through the insideof the linear fastener element row 3, so that it is intended to mountthe fastener element row 3 onto a fastener tape 4 or stabilize theengagement operation of the fastener elements 3.

The present invention concerns an end stop 14, i.e., a top end stop 15and a bottom end stop 16, which is applicable to both an ordinary typeslide fastener and a hidden type slide fastener formed in theabove-described manner. If the end stop 14 for the top end stop 15 inthe ordinary type slide fastener shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 will bedescribed, an element in which the core thread 9 is passed through thecoil-like linear fastener element row 3 is sewed on the side edge of thefastener tape 4 such that the coupling head 10 is projected from theside edge so as to produce a fastener stringer 2. A synthetic resinpiece 5, which is formed of the same kind of thermoplastic resin such aspolyamide or polyester as the fastener element 3 or resin having a lowmelting point into a round rod-like body 6, is passed through thecoupling space portion 13 formed in the rear side of the coupling heads10 of plural fastener elements 3 existing at a terminal end of thefastener stringer 2, and the rod-like body 6 is held within the couplingspace portion 13 surrounded by the fastener elements 3 and the corethread 9 and added thereto.

The rod-like body 6 added to the coupling space portion 13 is fused withthe fastener element 3 and the core thread 9 by ultrasonic welding.Therefore, the coupling space portion 13 existing in the rear side ofthe coupling heads 10 of the fastener elements 3 is closed by the fusedsynthetic resin piece 5, so that the coupling heads 10 of matingfastener elements 3 are blocked from invading into the coupling spaceportion 13 for engagement. As a result, it exerts a stop function of theend stop as the top end stop 15 for preventing a slider from slippingout of the fastener chain 1.

In the meantime, because the rod-like body 6 of the synthetic resinpiece 5 is fused within the coil-like fastener elements 3, no burr isgenerated on the surface of the fastener elements 3, so that agood-quality top end stop 15 is finished. The size and shape of therod-like body 6 for use is selected appropriately depending on the sizeof the applied fastener elements 3 and the shape of the coupling spaceportion 13.

The end stop 14 shown in FIGS. 4 to 6 is a top end stop 15 for a hiddentype slide fastener. The element in which the core thread 9 is placedthrough the coil-like linear fastener element row 3 is sewed onto thefastener tape 4 through the leg portions 11 such that the connectingportions 12 of the fastener elements 3 are located on a side edge of thefastener tape 4. Then, the fastener tape 4 is folded back near thesewing yarn 8 existing inside the fastener tape 4 so as to form a statein which the coupling heads 10 project from a folded-back portion 17.Consequently, the hidden type fastener stringer 2 is completed. Then,the rod-like body 6 of the synthetic resin piece 5 is inserted into thecoupling space portion 13 existing in the rear side of the couplingheads 10 of plural fastener elements 3 existing at the terminal end ofthe fastener stringer 2 and attached thereto.

The rod-like body 6 attached to the coupling space portion 13 is fusedto the fastener elements 3 and the core thread 9 by ultrasonic welding.Thus, the coupling space portion 13 existing in the rear side of thecoupling head 10 is closed by the synthetic resin piece 5 like theordinary type fastener element row 3, so that the coupling heads 10 ofthe mating fastener elements 3 are blocked from their engagement. As aresult, it exerts a stop function of the end stop as the top end stop 15for the hidden type slide fastener.

Particularly, because the fastener element row 3 of the hidden typeslide fastener exists in the rear side of the fastener stringer 2,naturally, the top end stop 15 is located in the rear side also. Ifthere is burr on the top end stop 15, it may often make a direct contactwith the skin of the neck or the like and hence, it is necessary toblock generation of such burr completely. As for this point in the topend stop 15 of the invention, because the rod-like body 6 as thesynthetic resin piece 5 is passed through the inside of the fastenerelement row 3 and fused therein, no burr is generated on the surface ofthe fastener element row 3 and as a result, a good-quality hidden slidefastener can be finished. Further, because the external shape of the endstop 14 does not change, when the hidden type slide fastener is sewed onclothes, there never occurs such an inconvenience that the end stop 14may make contact with a sewing machine foot guide.

As for the end stop 14 in the ordinary type slide fastener shown inFIGS. 7 and 8, in the fastener chain 1 in which the coil-like fastenerelement rows 3 mounted on side edges of right and left fastener tapes 4are coupled with each other, the round rod-like body 6 formed of thesynthetic resin piece 5 is inserted through the coupling space portion13 existing in the rear side of the coupling heads 10 of plural fastenerelements 3 at the terminal end of the fastener chain 1, and held andattached thereto. After attached to the coupling space portion 13, therod-like body 6 is fused with and fixed to the fastener elements 3 andthe core thread 9 by ultrasonic welding, so that the end stop 14 as thebottom end stop 16 for the ordinary type slide fastener is completed.

As for the end stop 14 in the hidden type slide fastener shown in FIG.9, in the fastener chain 1 in which the coil-like linear fastenerelement rows 3 mounted on the folded-back portion 17 of the right andleft fastener tapes 4 are coupled with each other, the rod-like body 6as the synthetic resin piece 5 is inserted into the coupling spaceportion 13 existing in the rear side of the coupling heads 10 of pluralfastener elements 3 at the terminal end of the fastener chain 1, andheld in and attached to the coupling space portion 13. Thereafter, therod-like body 6 is fused with the fastener elements 3 and the corethread 9 by ultrasonic welding and fixed thereto, so as to complete theend stop 14 as the bottom end stop 16 for the hidden type slidefastener.

As for the end stop 14 for the hidden type slide fastener shown in FIG.10, the rod-like body 6 of the synthetic resin piece 5, which isinserted into the coupling space portion 13 existing in the rear side ofthe coupling heads 10 of the fastener element row 3 mounted on thefolded-back portion 17 of the fastener tape 4 in the fastener stringer 2and held in and attached to the coupling space portion 13, is fused withthe fastener element row 3 and the core thread 9 by ultrasonic welding.At the same time, the coupling heads 10 of the fastener element row 3are pressed from top and bottom, that is, form the front and rearsurfaces so as to crush and fix the rod-like body 6 to form the top endstop 15. By expanding the lateral width of the end stop 14 in thefastener element row 3, the stop function of the slider is establishedclearly. In the meantime, the end stop 14 of this type can be applied tothe bottom end stop 16 of the fastener chain 1 and can be applied to theordinary type slide fastener also.

Although, in the end stops for the slide fasteners in theabove-described respective embodiments, the rod-like body 6 is employedas the synthetic resin piece 5 which is a base material constituting theend stop 14, as the synthetic resin piece 5 used for the end stops 14for the slide fasteners of the respective embodiments which will bedescribed below, a synthetic resin piece 5 which is formed into thecurved sheet-like body 7 is used, the sheet-like body 7 being made bysuch matter that a tube molded from thermoplastic resin such aspolyamide or polyester, or resin having a low melting point is cut outalong its one side and opened up.

As for an end stop 14 as a top end stop 15 in an ordinary type slidefastener shown in FIGS. 11 to 13, an element, in which the core thread 9is passed through the coil-like fastener element row 3, is sewed on theside edge of the fastener tape 4 such that the coupling heads 10 projectfrom the side edge so as to produce the fastener stringer 2. A portionappearing on the fastener tape 4 in the plural fastener elements 3existing at the terminal end of the fastener stringer 2, namely, thecoupling heads 10, the leg portions 11 and the connecting portions 12are surrounded and covered with the curved synthetic resin piece 5 andthe synthetic resin piece 5 is attached to the portion with covering it,and thereafter, the synthetic resin piece 5 is fused with the fastenerelement row 3 by ultrasonic welding, so that the coupling heads 10 ofthe mating fastener elements 3 are blocked from invading into thecoupling space portion 13 for their engagement, thereby forming the topend stop 15 which prevents the slider from slipping out. Further, byincreasing the thickness of the synthetic resin piece 5, the syntheticresin piece 5 is made to contact with a guide post of the slider,thereby forming the tope end stop 15 which prevents the slider fromslipping out.

As for the end stop 14 as the top end stop 15 in the hidden type slidefastener shown in FIGS. 14 to 16, an element in which the core thread 9is passed through the coil-like linear fastener element row 3 is sewedto the fastener tape 4 through the leg portions 11 such that theconnecting portions 12 of the fastener elements 3 are located on theside edge of the fastener tape 4 and then, the fastener tape 4 is foldedback near the sewing yarn 8 existing inside the fastener tape 4 suchthat the coupling heads 10 project from the folded-back portion 17 so asto produce the hidden type fastener stringer 2. Then, the appearingcoupling head 10, the leg portions 11 and the connecting portions 12 inthe plural fastener elements 3 existing at the terminal end of thefastener stringer 2 are surrounded and covered with the curved syntheticresin piece 5. After that, the synthetic resin piece 5 is fused with thefastener element row 3 by ultrasonic welding and fixed thereto so as toblock the coupling heads 10 of the mating fastener elements 3 frominvading into the coupling space portion 13 for their engagement,thereby forming the top end stop 15 which prevents the slider fromslipping out. Further, by increasing the thickness of the syntheticresin piece 5, the synthetic resin piece 5 is made to contact with theguide post of the slider and the top end stop which prevents the sliderfrom slipping out.

As for the end stop 14 in the ordinary type slide fastener shown inFIGS. 17 and 18, in the fastener chain in which the coil-like fastenerelement rows 3 mounted on the side edges of the right and left fastenertapes 4 are coupled with each other, the appearing coupling heads 10,the leg portions 11 and the connecting portions 12 of the pluralfastener elements 3 at the terminal end of the fastener chain 1 aresurrounded with the curved synthetic resin piece 5 and the syntheticresin piece 5 is attached thereto with covering them. After theattachment, the synthetic resin piece 5 is fused with the fastenerelements 3 by ultrasonic welding and fixed thereto, whereby the end stop14 is completed as the bottom end stop for the ordinary type slidefastener.

As for the end stop 14 in the hidden type slide fastener shown in FIGS.19 and 20, in the fastener chain 1 in which the coil-like fastenerelement rows 3 mounted on the folded-back portions 17 of the right andleft fastener tapes 4 are coupled with each other, the appearingcoupling heads 10, the leg portions 11 and the connecting portions 12 ofthe plural fastener elements 3 on the terminal end of the fastener chain1 are surrounded with the curved synthetic resin piece 5 and thesynthetic resin piece 5 is attached thereto with covering them. Afterthe attachment, the synthetic resin piece 5 is fused with the fastenerelements 3 by ultrasonic welding and fixed thereto so as to complete theend stop 14 as the bottom end stop for the hidden type slide fastener.

In the meantime, according to the present invention, the end stops 14 asthe top end stop 15 and bottom end stop 16 of a rigid ordinary typeslide fastener and hidden type slide fastener may be formed by insertingthe rod-like body 6 of the synthetic resin piece 5 into the couplingspace portion 13 of the linear fastener element row 3 and attaching therod-like body 6 to the coupling space portion 13 and by covering thesurface of the linear fastener element row 3 with the sheet-like body 7of the synthetic resin piece 5 and then attaching the synthetic resinpiece to the linear fastener element row 3, that is, it is possible touse the rod-like body 6 and the sheet-like body 7 at the same time andfuse the rod-like body 6 and the sheet-like body 7 with the linearfastener element row 3 by ultrasonic welding.

Finally, the embodiment of the slide fastener shown in FIGS. 21 and 25will be described. The slide fastener shown here is an ordinary typeslide fastener and various kinds of patterns, characters and the likeare represented on the fastener tapes 4 located at the surface side A ofthe fastener chain 1 by ink jet as a special processing or waterproofprocessing is performed to the fastener tapes 4. The core thread 9 isattached to the synthetic resin coil-like or zigzag-like linear fastenerelement row 3, and the linear fastener element row 3 is sewed with thesewing yarn 8 on the fastener tape 4 located at the rear surface side Bof the fastener chain 1 and attached to the edge portion of the tape soas to complete the fastener chain 1.

In the fastener chain 1 shown in FIGS. 22 and 23, the rod-like body 6 asthe synthetic resin piece 5 is inserted into the coupling space portion13 existing in the rear side of the coupling heads 10 of the pluralfastener elements 3 on both sides located at the terminal end side ofcoupled fastener element rows 3 disposed on the rear surface side B andthe rod-like body 6 is attached thereto. After the attachment, therod-like body 6 is fused by ultrasonic welding and fixed to the couplingspace portion 13 so as to produce the end stop 14 as the bottom end stop16. This type of the end stop 14 is also applicable for the top end stop15 at the upper terminal end of the fastener stringer 2.

As shown in FIGS. 24 and 25, the coupling heads 10, the leg portions 11and the connecting portions 12, which appear on the fastener tape 4, ofthe plural fastener elements 3 existing at the terminal end of coupledfastener element rows 3 disposed on the rear surface side B of thefastener chain 1 are surrounded with the curved sheet-like body 7 of thesynthetic resin piece 5 and the curved sheet-like body 7 is attachedthereto with covering them. After the attachment, this sheet-like body 7is fused with and fixed on the fastener element row 3 by ultrasonicwelding so as to produce the end stop 14 as the bottom end stop 16.
